After a storm, water flows across a road ahead of you. It looks only about 6 inches deep, and you drive a pickup truck. What should you do?
Blue pickup A approaches flowing water that covers both lanes of a two-way road. Pale ripples cross the water. The card says it appears about six inches deep.
Correct answer: Turn around and find another route, or go to higher ground and wait
Why
Flash floods can come within minutes of heavy rain, and floodwater can cover roads, bridges and low areas. At night, it is hard to see how deep the water is or how fast it moves. A vehicle that stalls or floats in moving water can be carried away with the people inside it.
